The clinical application of CBCT in the patients with vertical alveolar bone resorption underwent orthodontic therapy / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

19 cases with vertical alveolar bone resoption wer examined by CBCT and treated by orthodentic therapy, the changes of alveolar ridge height, bone defect and bone mineral density were analysed. After treatment, the defect area of alveolar bone was decreased(P＜ 0. 05), the density of defect area of alveolar bone was increased(P＜ 0. 05). CBCT plays an important role in the evaluation of vertical alveolar bone absorption and reconstruction treated by orthodontic therapy.
